Month-end account reconciliation is still messy

Excel files

Shared folders

Email follow-ups

Manual reviews

Audit pressure

Supporting balances, evidence, explanations, and approvals often sit across different files and people.

Finance teams spend too much time managing the process instead of reviewing the accounts.

Cointab creates a structured workspace for your trial balance accounts and keeps preparation, review, and certification in one place.

See how it works

See exactly where every account stands

Each account brings the core reconciliation numbers together:

GL balance

The balance from your trial balance.

Supported balance

The balance supported by your schedules and supporting items.

Difference

The gap between the GL balance and supported balance.

Reconciling items

Items that explain all or part of the difference.

Unexplained difference

The amount that still needs attention.

Know what agrees, what is explained, and what still needs review.
